Managing it is a huge part of my job, which is why I wrote this how-to with a lot of my tips and tricks. And as I’ve said on many a Vergecast episode, I purposefully break streaks to preserve my mental health. Friendly reminder from your neighborhood wearables expert: you are allowed to take breaks.

Spent some time scrolling through Meta AI's social feed. It's what you'd get if you mashed up Pinterest, the annoying bits of the Threads algo, and general confusion over what to use generative AI for. https://t.co/1Uxdeq0WiZ
If you’ve ever loved Polygon’s work, here’s a tangible way you can help the staff affected by yesterday’s layoffs. Solidarity forever. https://t.co/J3SqNF2Vkn
NEW from me: I sat down with Marina Anderson, the CEO behind the RAW Ring, a conceptual wearable with an eerie twist to “putting a ring on it.” Some would call it emotional surveillance.
Would you wear a smart ring that proves you’re not a cheater? https://t.co/gjiYO7hUlM
